Solution
The correct option is A Decrease conc. of OH−
The common ion effect is responsible for the reduction in the solubility of an ionic precipitate when a soluble compound containing one of the ions of the precipitate is added to the solution in equilibrium with the precipitate.
Due to Common ion effect, the concentration of OH− decreases when NH4Cl is added to NH4OH
